10 Food Processor Recipes You'll Love
Author: satyenhacks
Sometimes it seems like cooking is just too difficult to do on a daily
basis, but food processors take a lot of the hassle out. If you dont
have a food processor, I highly recommend that you get one. In fact,
go out and buy one right now! I use my food processor everyday,
keeping it on my kitchen counter for fast use. Why? Because I have so
many great recipes! Here is my top 10 favorite food processor recipes
guaranteed to make you love your food processor.
1. You can make your own peanut butter or any other nut butter that
you like in your processor. Cashews make wonderful nut butter too.
2. Speaking of peanut butter, peanut butter cookies are the easiest
recipe in the world: 1 cup sugar, 1 egg, 1 cup peanut butter, and a
teaspoon of vanilla if desired. Toss them into your processor; give it a
whirl for a few seconds until well mixed. Scoop out a tablespoon of
dough and scrap it on the side of the bowl to even the spoon, drop
onto a cookie sheet and smash it down with a fork to make the cross
hatch design. Bake at 350 degrees for 7 to 9 minutes and you have
fabulous, gluten free peanut butter cookies.
3. Make steak sandwiches by chilling, but not freezing, leftover steak
in the freezer until firm but not frozen. Slice with your processor and
then add to a skillet in which you have been sauting bell peppers and
onions. Put it all on a sandwich bun, top with jack cheese, and enjoy. I
know, who has leftover steak? Plan for this and throw an extra steak or
two on the grill next time.
4. Specialty butters are definitely a favorite of mine. In fact, I get ideas
from many restaurants, constantly seeking new flavors to spread
across bread. Armed with my food processor, making specialty butter
has never been so easy. My favorite is basil-garlic butter. By
processing a stick of butter with a couple cloves of garlic, I can then
add some crushed basil leaves and let it sit in the fridge for a week or
so in an air-tight container. Then, its French bread and wine for
dinner. Sometimes I even use it on grilled cheese with mozzarella,
sliced tomatoes, and bacon. So delicious!
5. For fresh lemon sherbet, mix equal amounts sugar, milk, and
half-and-half with freshly grated lemon rind and some lemon juice.
Then pour into a pan and freeze it, covering it for at least two hours.
After frozen, use your food processor to blend it until smooth. Four
hours in the freezer later, you have a wonderful dessert to go with
anything you can cook up!
6. Another great idea is to take blackberries and sugar, blending them
with your food processor until theyre smooth. Then, pour the mixture
through a strainer into a pan and stir in some buttermilk. When frozen,
break into chucks and beat with an electric mixer until smooth again,
and then pour it back into a pan and cover it until firm. This is a great
way to make a cold, berry concoction that the whole family will love,
especially on hot summer days. And you can substitute blueberries or
raspberries as well!
7. I am a huge fan of chocolate, and my food processor allows me to
take melted chocolate chips, some tofu, salt, 3 egg whites, half a cup
of sugar, and a quarter cup of water and turn it into a light, chocolaty
masterpiece. My chocolate mousse is a favorite amongst all of my
friends, and can be topped with either grated chocolate, whipped
topping, or both!
8. My 14 cup processor will hold an 18.5 ounce cake mix. I can have
the cake ready to bake in less time than it takes me to haul my big
mixer out and find the correct beater.
9. I always use my processor to make pie dough. I even chill the bowl
and blade in the freezer to help keep my dough chilled and flaky.
10. One of my favorite uses for a food processor is making soup when
Ive had a hard day. Some chopped onion, garlic, milk, a bit of flour,
chicken broth, broccoli, cheese, and pepper can be easily put
together to make an excellent meal. After sauting the onions and
garlic, add all ingredients except milk and flour and cheese, cooking
over medium heat for 10 minutes. Afterward, combine with milk and
flour and cook an additional 5 minutes, then let cool while adding
cheese until it melts. Place in a food processor, and you have smooth,
creamy broccoli-cheese soup that can relieve any stress-filled day.
